Post covid itch and hives

I too have the itching on my mid back and have had it since I got the first Covid Vaccine over three years ago. I only got the first two shots (thank the Lord) but the itching is horrible. It comes when I am stressed, get hot, wear something that is irritating to my skin, or sometimes just out of the blue. I don't think I have a rash just a few bumps that I can feel when I reach my hand back. I also get really itchy on my head. I also have switched shampoo's, body wash, laundry soaps, lotions, etc to all things pure. I have been diagnosed with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria. I have been tested for Mastocytosis (which came out negative) because my tryptase levels are so high and if I get bit by any type of Spyder, bug, mosquito, or Bee I have a severe reaction due to the High Tryptase levels that become even higher. My allergist said that you can have Spontaneous Chronic Urticaria without having a rash, that it can be internal. It is no fun itching all the time. I have been getting injections of Xolair monthly for at least a year and they have helped but this time they injected one shot into my stomach rather than one in each arm and it didn't work at all.

This is so odd because, I have said I never had COVID, but I too have been itching, mostly on the middle of back - but arms and head basically. I am very clean - changed soaps/both laundry and body; change sheets twice a week. Beth 4 yrs old. The dermatologist last week said - you're a scratcher - I said - yes, since COVID Vaccine 8 months ago.
